GearBest: Pre-Order The Full Metal Meizu M3 Note For Only $298

While there are a number of manufacturers emerging from China with high-spec, competitively priced handsets, one of those who has really made their mark on the industry is Meizu. This is a company who has brought to market device after device which not only boast an attractive build and a great level of specs, but ones that are very competitively priced. One of their latest handsets is the Meizu M3 Note and this is a device which the company managed to sell 100,000 in less than seven minutes of the smartphone going on sale. Although, it is likely they could have sold more if they wanted, as that was the total stock level that was offered as part of the launch pre-sale.

Moving to the camera side of things and the Meizu M3 Note comes loaded with a 13-megapixel rear camera, as well as a 5-megapixel front-facing option. The Meizu M3 Note comes sporting a 4,100 mAh battery and comes running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop) out of the box, by way of the company’s own Flyme 5.1 UI. Not forgetting, this is also a dual-SIM smartphone and one which sports a fingerprint reader too. In terms of band compatibility, the Meizu M3 Note is designed to work with 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, 3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100 MHz and 4G: FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600 MHz.
